| I got some kind of government e-mail warning on my computer today for watching an interview between Howard Stern and Chris Rock about whether Obama would be a good President. Big Brother was watching I guess. Please..... |

Need more details. I don't think this is accurate. I have a Sirius Online subscription that I use to listen to Howard 100/101 and the many other channels full of content available on Sirius. |

The OP is an idiot. If that's a personal attack, then read "The OP SOUNDS like an idiot."
I'm guessing it was for DOWNLOADING it, which is the letter many people have gotten from their ISP saying it's illegal to download, blah blah blah
I'm certain the government did not pick him out and say "Don't watch Howard Stern, we know what's on your hard drives!!" |

I don't think it was specificly meant for you. I had that pop up happen on my computer when I was watching music videos on youtube.
No big deal. |

I got a pop up yesterday in korean, saying I was violating copyright. I wasn't downloading either, just streaming.
Today, when I went to visit the same site, I got a blank screen with a short message in English that said this site is not accessible on this server. |

I've seen that one before. Use a proxy if you must. It says what you think it says. The NPA (Korean FBI, I've been told), has deemed this site not suitable for access in the ROK. If you have any questions as to why, call the numbers on the message.

Anyone been having trouble streaming NBA games? Maybe it's just the connection and not the government trying to block it, just wondering...
I haven't gotten a popup. But I get that message when I try to access the official NK site, for example. |

| Anyone had anything for torrenting? Think it's safe? I've downloaded many gigs-worth of films in the past 3 months. |
